How much whey is too much?

[sneak007]

What % of y'all proteins come from milk/whey ?? I hear coaches say to prioritize "real food" but I can't seem to stomach more than a pound of chicken in a day.

So I end up doing 45-50% of my protein from meat, 25% egg whites, and 25-30% from yogurt/whey powder. Should I increase the eggs or do those numbers sound alright?

In my growing years 1 of my 6 meals was whey. My post workout drink. I found i grew better from whole food as it had a more varied source of nutrition as well as a good protein source.

Protein is protein no matter the source. Whey is complete, and theoretically you could get every last bit of your protein intake from it and be fine. As long as you're getting all essential/semi essential amino acids covered, you're okay.

I wouldn’t look into it too much. As long as you’re able to effectively digest the whey you’re fine. Whey protein is still real food.

I slightly disagree, as im getting a little older my tolerance goes down for lactose. Before I could handle Mabe 5-6 scoops a day, now days 2 scoops max, how is protein protein if one source makes u shit ur brains out?

Ever read the label of a protein container? 2 scoops max and not to be used for weight loss or something about replacing a meal I have read on 1.

U gota moisten that chicken up cook it juicy or add some low carb bbq sauce ,Trying to eat a pound of dry chicken is no fun. Blend it if you have to. Do what u have to do.
